- Partner with designers and module engineers to ensure components fit and interfaces work together.
- Apply lessons learned from prior programs and ensure designs follow the Bill of Design.
- Work with manufacturing teams to support buildability, identify root causes, resolve issues, and define quality requirements.
- Partner with service teams to ensure cell designs can be serviced.
- Lead or support design failure mode and effects analysis, design reviews based on failure modes, and design reviews based on test results.
- Support design verification and production validation, and contribute to the Advanced Design Verification Plan and Report.
- Resolve development and validation issues, manage design changes, and provide status updates to propulsion program teams.
- Lead cell production quality efforts, including warranty reviews, issue resolution, and proactive engagement with production teams.
- Collaborate with module engineers and cross-functional partners to optimize cell and module designs.
- Coordinate development and publication of component technical specifications and interface control documents.
